R.Hirsch marshalt led by Cline's Land.In the parade were illicials and di-rectors of the M'ate !'air 1soscia-lion, the city dllihiars and a numbelof citizens of prominince. 1in reach-ing the platform Mrs. I)eGarmo, su-

perintAnndent, with her assistants,Mrs. C. L. Wheeler. president of theMothers Union, Mrs. Gordon Iron.and other ladies and the profes-sional nurses who had assisted, andDr. J. M. Bodenheiiner and the nE0-ical and mental stall were assignedseats on the platform. On ilie plat-form were seated 1)r. C. W. McCloud.president, and L. N. lrueggerhoff.secretary of the Fair Association.members of the press including Mrs.W. A. Bailie and Mrs. Julia Rule andinvited guests. Facing. the assem-blage and seated on the platformwere the contestants of the class of

11908 instituted by Mrs. DeGarmo inShreveport. Each of the babies of1908 in cap and gown and each ofthe babies of 1913 were .idiant intheir liveliness.

The programme was preceded )ya fervent invocation by Rev. W. F.O'Kelly of Dunlap Memorial church.

The address of welcome was ,by tDr. C. C. McCloud. whose remarkswere felicitous and appropriate tothe occasion. In referring to Mrs. IDeGarmo he stated that the successof the Better Babies contest was dueto the able manner in which it hadbeen managed, and he expressed thehope that Mrs. DeGarmo would bein' Shreveport for the greatest con-test in 1914.

In replying to the welcome greet-ing Mrs. DeGarmo addressed thegathering impressively. After voic-ing her appreciation of the courte-sies; the kind kords and the manyg d wishes of which she had beenthe recipient, she explained the pur-pose of the Better Babies contests.Her address was given undivided at-tention and at its close Mrs. De-Garmo was ovated with a demon- Istration of enthusiastic applause.- The' next address which was en-tertaining as well as instructive wasby Dr.. J. M. Bodenheimer, who atthe Better Babies contest in 1908 hadbeen a most valuable assistant toMrs. DeGarmo in preparing thescore cards which, have since be-come is general use wherever suchcontests are held. He thanked the

5 physicians who had assisted in the1 $913 contests. He expressed his ap-preciation.of the assistance given bythe nurses. Without such help itwould have been impo3sible to havesecured the success scored in this,one of the greatest Better Babiescontests ever held. In the course ofhis remarks Dr. Bodenheimer

- stressed'genially but impressively onthe duities of the mother. It was not

- the pretty child nor the well dressedchild that could meet all the re-

8 quirements of the score cards. While0 a child was beautiful and lovely it

was deficient in some points whichin such contests operated to its dis-

- credit. He announced that many.1 mothers always solicitous of theirIT children were not informed of theIt ury arising from the use of the6O "paifier," from the milk bottle and4 fromn e- many apparent neglects of

lp~c seemingly a@te

Bltter Rabies contests the purposewas to point out all the defeels ii

order to obtain an inmproveeint isthe conditions of the child. TheBetter Babies contests were educa-er and a better standard of hi nman-

and a better standard of Iiimna-ity. The ioitCsts riouhl not havebeen fairer. Every child was num-beredl and not known to the exam-iners. Fr. Bodenheimer's remarkshad visible impress of his auditors.

With the closing of the addressIli,. McC loud announeed that Secre-tar. Bivu(iggerhoff. the greatest of allfair secretaries in the world, wouldannounce the awards. Followinig airel iminary of #xplanatical theawards were as follows:
